(Sports Network) - The Detroit Tigers try to even the best-of-seven American League Championship Series this evening when they play Game 4 against the Texas Rangers at Comerica Park. cheap jerseys . After losing the first two games of this set in Arlington the Tigers showed some signs of life on Tuesday, as Miguel Cabrera, Victor Martinez and Jhonny Peralta all homered and Austin Jackson went 3-for-5 with a run scored and an RBI for the AL Central champs in a 5-2 win. "You find a way to win somehow," Detroit manager Jim Leyland said. "We did that tonight." While the Tigers were pounding out 11 hits, Doug Fister kept the high-powered Texas lineup in check, as he surrendered two runs on seven hits in 7 1/3 innings. "I thought he put on a pitching clinic," Tigers manager Jim Leyland said of his starter. The news wasnt all good for the Tigers on Tuesday, however, as the injuries continued to pile up. Martinez suffered an intercostal muscle strain on his home run that tied the game in the fourth. He was able to stay in the game, but his status for todays contest is not known. Although, Martinez seemed to think after the game that he would give it a go today. "The only way I dont play [in Game 4]," Martinez said, "is if I wake up and Im dead." Detroit is already without outfielders Magglio Ordonez, who broke his ankle, and Delmon Young, who has been hampered with an oblique strain. Colby Lewis (1-1) was charged with four runs on eight hits in 5 2/3 innings to suffer his first postseason loss, Texas first setback since losing to the Tampa Bay Rays in Game 1 of the ALDS. "It was one of those nights where I felt really good," Lewis said. "Sometimes you get results and sometimes you dont. My curveball was spotty, but I threw some good ones. My changeup was there. I felt all my pitches were working well. Sometimes you get results and sometimes you dont." Today, Detroit turns to righty Rick Porcello, who pitched two scoreless innings of relief in Saturdays Game 1 after getting tattooed for four runs in six innings of his ALDS start against the Yankees. "I feel good. My arm feels fresh," Porcello said. "I feel like the ball is coming out of my hand better now than it was earlier in the year. Ill be ready to go. Physically, everything will be there." Porcello was 14-9 this season with a 4.75 ERA and is 1-1 with a 6.30 ERA in two starts versus the Ranges. He beat them the last time he faced them, holding them to a run and six hits in six innings. "You make one mistake, and it could be the difference. Its a tough lineup. So it makes for a good challenge," said Porcello. "One through nine, they have guys who can hurt you," Porcello said. "You really have to focus on every pitch because they got guys who can hit the ball out of the park." Texas, meanwhile, will rely on left-hander Matt Harrison, who is 0-4 with a 7.43 ERA in five starts against the Tigers. He was 0-2 against them this past year and has posted an 0-3 mark to go along with a 7.03 ERA in three starts at Comerica Park. He did pick up a win in relief against them last season. "I think the times he caught Detroit, they were grooving," Texas manager Ron Washington said. "And they have a tough lineup anyway. I think we just have to wait and see. Everything that happened between us and Detroit in the regular season, as far as Im concerned, is out the door. The only thing that matters is how we perform now." Harrison won his ALDS start against the Rays, holding them to two runs and five hits in five innings. He was 14-9 overall on the year with a 3.39 ERA and won his final four decisions of the regular season. "He found his legs in August," Washington said. "Hes been strong since then." These teams have never met in the playoffs, but the Tigers won six of their nine regular season matchups against the Rangers. jerseys from china . Fiorentina took the lead following a terrible blunder from Morgan De Sanctis. The Napoli goalkeeper rushed out of his area to intercept a long pass from Facundo Roncaglia by the halfway line, but completely misjudged the ball which bounced over him and into the goal. cheap nfl jerseys .

"During the race I tried not to think about Wouter," De Clercq said. "But now that Ive won it I want to dedicate this win to Wouter Weylandt and his family." Weylandt died in the third stage of the race on Monday after a heavy crash.Fifty-five players came to the CFL Combine with something to prove, but Hamilton, ON. native Michael DiCroce may have had a little more to prove than the other 54. Unlike most other draft eligible players, DiCroces senior season of university football wasnt spent sprinting, catching, learning and developing- it was spent on the sidelines, forced there by a broken bone in his foot – an injury sustained on just the second day of training camp.

"I was feeling the best Ive ever felt going into training camp so to have that happen…. It just hurt. It broke my heart." Though he recovered from the injury in time to return for the playoffs, including an appearance in the Vanier Cup, the damage to his draft stock lingered. He failed to make it onto the CFL Scouting Bureaus list of top 15 prospects heading into the 2013 draft, a list he no doubt wouldve been a shoe-in for a year earlier after a dominant season in which he lead the CIS in receiving yards, won a Vanier Cup, earned OUA MVP honours and got nominated for the prestigious Hec Crighton Award. "I really didnt think I was going to get an invite [to the combine] just because of that injury," said DiCroce. "Everyone said hes not going to bounce back from this, hes not going to move as well. I took that as a challenge." He poured all of his energy into a daily regimen that included physiotherapy, pool workouts and strengthening exercises, in addition to his regular workouts. His efforts paid off, earning him a combine invite, and when he walked into Torontos Park Hyatt hotel on Friday night - two days of testing ahead - he knew what he had to prove. "A lot of scouts arent sure if Im fully recovered or 100 per cent. Ive told them that I am so they want to see me in action and see that Im ready to go," said DiCroce. One of those scouts, Hamilton Tiger-Cats Director of Canadian Scouting Drew Allemang, said that although DiCroces current health wasnt a prime concern, he was looking to see how the broken foot had impacted the receivers quickness. "Were looking to see what he runs in the 40. We want to see speed and see how well hes recovered from his injury," said Allemang. Day 1 of the combine saw the sociology major record two of his best ever jumps – a 337. wholesale nfl jerseys. .50" vertical and a 98" broad – but he failed to impress in the bench press, recording just nine reps. "I wasnt happy with my bench press. I was a bit nervous," said DiCroce. "I got nine and was shooting for double digits. Im not going to be too upset about that. Ill move on to the next events." The second and final day of testing was when DiCroce hoped to shine. Admittedly not a great tester, it was in the 40-yard dash he hoped to prove his speed; the 1-on-1s, his competitiveness.And he did. His 40 time was 4.583, a new personal best, good enough for top five on the day. His 1-on-1s earned him hoots, hollers and applause from those gathered - thrilled by his flash, speed and great hands - but more importantly, it earned him approval from the scouts, including Allemang. "He did really well. He hit that speed he needed to hit," said Allemang. "He showed his quickness and his ability to run good routes and separate from people. I wouldnt say there were too many kids who really helped themselves or showed different things than we already knew but I think hes someone that helped himself today for sure." When it was all over- the final route of the weekend, run - DiCroces contentment was obvious. The massive grin on his face gave him away. "Im so happy that I came out here and showed them that I am fully recovered and fully ready to compete at a high level so hopefully they give me a chance to do that," said DiCroce. BC Lions head coach Mike Benevides has little doubt someone will. "We interviewed Michael and hes a very, very sharp individual. Hes mature. He understands whats required of him and hes well-spoken so when you take a look at the entire package hes got a lot to offer," said Benevides. "I think based on what Ive seen on tape and what I saw at his interview I think hes going to do very well." John Hufnagel, head coach and general manager of the Calgary Stampeders, agrees. "I think hes a young man that has a great opportunity to have a nice future in the Canadian Football League," said Hufnagel. Which team gives him that opportunity wont be known until draft day - May 6. Until then hell do the same thing that earned him the invite in the first place- hit the gym, over and over and over again. "Its been a long, grueling road," said DiCroce. "But Im happy to be back." wholesale authentic nfl jerseys ' ' '
